If you had a 445, which is fuel injected, then no, the pump only runs for a few seconds, then shuts off if the engine is not running. When you are cranking the engine, the pump runs, and when the engine is running it runs. This is a high pressure pump, as it needs to supply sufficent pressure to the fuel injectors.
